There's two reasons why I haven't swallowed my spit in 2 days. Firstly, it's just too sore. I have NEVER had anything like this, and I've had everything from strep to sinus infections, etc. Even when I had my tonsils and adenoids removed (when I was older too, so it had many complications), my throat was still not this sore. Anyway, I also have so much post nasal drip that when I spit, it is yellow mucus, so I certainly don't want to swallow that.
So what I've been doing is spitting every 5 minutes or so, and then right after I spit (before the post nasal drip has time to collect in my mouth), I'll drink a whole glass of a carbonated drink all at once (i.e. gingerale, seltzer water, etc.) because the bubbles make it sting less. I figure that this is keeping me hydrated enough, despite all the spitting, because I'm producing the normal amount of urine. Is that alright to continue for another day or two until the soreness lessens?
Thanks for any help!
